Hints for Better Shooting

Position the subject in the center of the screen.

Notes

∙When you are using auto focus, whatever is in the center of the screen is kept in focus.

Position the subject in the center.

Focus manually when you need to position the subject off center (see page 16).

∙Avoid backlit subjects. For the best picture, the light source should be located behind the Camcorder.

∙When the background is brighter than the subject, the subject often becomes too dark. If you need to record under such conditions, use the backlight compensation (BLC) function to improve the picture (see page 17).

More Hints For Shooting Better Videos

∙Before zooming, think about how to frame the shot best. Stop zooming when the shot is well framed.

∙When image shake is noticeable during zoomed-in telephoto shooting, use a tripod or press the Power Zoom W (wide angle) button to zoom out. Screw the tripod into the tripod socket on the bottom of the Camcorder.

∙Horizontal panning (lateral movement) and tilting (vertical movement) should be done slowly to emphasize the wide expanse of a scene or the height of a building, and to make them easy to watch on playback.

∙Use wide-angle settings for fast-moving subjects.

Note It may take longer to focus when zooming and panning are used frequently.

Optical Picture Control

This function automatically causes the LCD’s backlight to become brighter for easier viewing when recording outdoors.

Note Outdoor recording depletes battery pack power more quickly than indoor recording.
